Case 2: The Secret of Artisan

"ABOUT John Martinez, is he a lower member of the organization, right?" Raleigh asked him, to recall this matter to Doyle.
"Based on the information I have about the organization, I believe John Martinez engaged in cannibalism due to the role assigned to him by the organization. From what I know, there are seven higher ranks and three upper higher ranks within the Herald Mortiferum. Additionally, there are over 112 lower-ranking members. According to a kidnapped child who was the organization's first victim, John Martinez follows orders and rules from one of the three upper higher ranks, who happens to be a woman. The child mentioned that the rules were created by her." Raleigh seemed disappointed and sighed, possibly because he expected the organization's leader to be the one giving commands and creating rules.
He appears to be trying to create theories based on the information he has gathered, but he lacks sufficient information to do so. It might be better for him to involve the police in this matter, as a young person like him shouldn't be involved in such dangerous situations.
"But, he said that because of the woman. He kidnapped them, and it's one of her orders," he added, further perplexing me. Why did she make him do that? For what specific reason? Surely, there must be a reason behind it, right? I couldn't help but look down at the floor, holding my chin, trying to create a theory.
Nagulat kami nang biglang may kumatok ng tatlong beses mula sa maindoor. Nagkatinginan kaming tatlo bago lumabas ng kwarto para puntahan kung sino man ang kumakatok.
NAKASAKAY kami ngayon sa sasakyan ni Doyle. Gulat si Doyle nang matagpuan siya ng kanyang butler sa kanyang tirahan, kung saan siya'y kasalukuyang nagtatago mula sa kanilang pamilya. Ang nagmamaneho ng sasakyan ngayon ay ang kanyang butler, patungo kami sa bodega. Doon kinasasadlakan ang lahat ng mga bata na inabduct.
Pero bago namin napagdesisyunang puntahan ang warehouse, binisita namin kanina ang Artisan Eats, ngunit nakasara ito. Tinulungan ng butler si Raleigh na buksan ang pinto sa likod ng restaurant sa pamamagitan ng pag-kick dito, ngunit nang pumasok kami, wala roon. Habang iniinspeksyon ni Doyle ang lugar, napansin niyang malinis ang restaurant, lalo na ang kusina at ang banyo. Kanina, sinabi ni Raleigh na mayroong masangsang na amoy.
"Sir Doyle, please," the butler gazes at the rear-view mirror to look at the boy sitting in the middle of the backseat, between me and Raleigh. His attention was focused on other things, listening to mystery documentaries on his phone while solving the 12x12 Rubik's cube. "Nagaalala na ang mga magulang mo sa'yo, umuwi ka na doon sa mansion. Walang tigil ang pagiyak ng nanay mo, hinahanap ka. Hindi ka pa sumasagot sa mga tawag at mensahe niya. Please, Sir Doyle, go home with me." Pagmamakaawa niya ngunit hindi ito nakikinig.
Dapat nga naglalakad kami ngayon papunta sa labas ng Florida Street, para maghintay ng masaskayang taxi papunta sa warehouse, habang binahabagi ni Doyle ang kaniyang deduction ang kuwento ng kasong hinahawakan niya. Ngunit, hindi niya natuloy dahil sa butler na bigla na lamang sumulpot sa bahay niya.
"Hoy shorty," mabilis namang kumunot ang noo ni Doyle. "Kinakausap ka kaya makinig ka, wag kang bastos!" Paglelecture ni Raleigh.
"Ha?" Pagbingi-bingihan niya. "Are you talking to me, birdy-kid draw eyebrows? I'm sorry I didn't quite hear that." Matigas niyang sabi.
